At the time of my writing this film review for ‘Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,’ the film is still new. I don’t think that it is necessary for this film to exist, but it wasn’t bad. The end of the first film did well to close out the story. Therefore, I never would have expected a sequel for that film. Though, like I said, I didn’t dislike the film, so it is probably worth a viewing.
Beware Mild Spoilers Ahead
I probably wouldn’t have gone to see it myself, but I was with family so i had no problem seeing it. When the film began, there was expositional narrative used to try and warrant a need for this film’s existence. There is no problem with that in my eyes, but it is pretty obvious that it’s there for that reason. From that point forward the film went along as I expected it to, but it was still fun to watch. I knew a villain would be introduced for the sake of plot convenience, but I can suspend my disbelief enough where it isn’t an issue.All-in-all it isn’t a bad movie, just an unnecessary one.
Conclusively I believe that people can watch whatever they want to. After reading this review it is up to you whether you want to see it, but just know that this is what it will be like. The film itself has fun moments, but I can definitely see the reason why people wouldn’t like it. You are already going to suspend your disbelief anyway for the sake of it being a movie. So, before you go, just know you’ll have to suspend it a bit more a couple of times.

For the title of this film review for ‘Wall-E,’ I felt it necessary to include what is essentially a tagline for the film. This movie is one that I have loved ever since its release. The titular character of the film is one that anyone can fall in love with at any age. This movie was made for children, and also adults who are kids at heart. Wall-e is a character that was perfectly designed to make you simply say “awww.”
As I said, this film is one that I fell in love with the first time that I saw it. I remember seeing the main character for the first time and not knowing how the movie would play out. Thus my expectations for the film were confused and it’s why I love it. However, robot all on his own is not a film, and this is why they make him sociable. this changes how the whole film plays out. Sometimes, one person can make all of the difference, and Wall-E being friendly and hard-working shows this best.
There is plenty of love that can be seen throughout the entirety of the film. Everything is animated to feel more life-like. Even the parts that don’t seem like they fit in are integrated very well into the film. Then the way the characters are portrayed pulls it all together. Therefore, I feel as though this is an animated film that cannot be missed out on. Everyone who sees this movie will most likely love it.

I think this film review for ‘Christmas Vacation’ may be unneeded, but it can’t hurt. Many people may know this film by now, but there are some who might not. This film review is for those people. I hope that it will be enough to make you watch the film. This one movie will easily go down as one of my favorite comedies of all time.
National Lampoon films exist to make people laugh, this one is a prime example of that fact. What makes the film so special is that the writing is done so well. Every single scene that can be watched throughout the film is made with comedic intent. Not everyone may laugh at every scene in the film, but I bet you will laugh hard at one scene at least. For me, I am among the group of people that can laugh at all scenes in the film.
What I am saying in this film review is that this film is always worth a watch. It may be played way too often around Christmas time, for obvious reasons, but so what. I admit that I get tired of it every once in a while as well. That doesn’t mean that I don’t think it is a great film, because it most certainly is. ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ will go down in history as one of those films that is simply funny and fun to watch.

This film review for The Cabin in the Woods is being written to help decide if the film is worth watching. The movie is set up to seem like a slasher film at the start. This foreshadows much of the events that unfold. Thus, it is impossible to predict how it will play out. I did not know what I was going in to when I saw it for the first time. Although I knew it was a horror film, I didn’t know it was a comedy. Anyone who thought the same was in for a rude awakening.
The start of the film makes you quickly realize it is meant to be a parody. When everything begins to go wrong, I almost immediately started cracking up. The film itself is full of plenty of horror themes including the traditional blood and gore. However, as soon as people started placing bets on which monsters would kill the main cast I was holding my stomach laughing. The movie doesn’t take itself too seriously, so neither should you. It knows what it is and that is the point.
This film review for ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ is simply here to make you realize it is a fun movie. If you are going into this for a pure horror experience, then you will be disappointed. I would gladly watch this film over and over because comedy and horror just so happen to be my favorite genres. If that isn’t for you, then fine, but if it is, you are in for a good time.

This film review for the now classic animated film Atlantis: The Last Empire is go to emphasize just how much I love this film. As a child or now as an adult, this film has always meant a lot to me. Growing up, this was my go to animated film because it is a film that both adults and children can enjoy. For children, this film is an animated movie with a good amount of action to keep them entertained. On the adult side of things, the film is full of its dark moments that we can all understand. The film holds up well nowadays as it is animated. That is not the only reason it holds up, however.
‘Atlantis: The Lost Empire’ is a film that has a lot of static background while the characters are very much animated, which may sound like a bad thing but does not look bad at all. This animating style is what keeps children focused on what is going on in the film by giving them characters and objects they can latch on to. With that, children can always tell what objects are important to the plot moving forward and it can keep them engaged. For adults, the same can also be said because, although it is interesting to have things going on in the background, it takes away engagement from the film.
IN CONCLUSION
This film will always remain among my favorite animated films of all time. The characters, such as Milo the protagonist, have their plans laid out before them. This makes the film great to watch as the viewer wants to see them achieve their goals. There does not seem to be a villain in the film but there will be. This fact alone makes the film worth watching as you try to ready yourself for that. This film review for Atlantis was meant to illustrate how well the film is crafted.

Krampus Film Review: This film is one that you may or may not find scary, depending on how well you handle horror comedies. Personally this is not a film that I would watch more than once or twice a year. I am not even sure why I am writing this film review. It’s not that I don’t like horror comedies, it is instead the fact that the Krampus design is off-putting; it isn’t scary, but creepy. It is a well made movie in which they did not waste any money with the effects. The cast is a very well put together ensemble that can play well off of one another. This is why I think that this is a film that should be seen at least once. If you liked Krampus I definitely recommend checking out Killer Klowns from Outer Space
